A NUMBER of exhibitors at the fair
have signifed their willingness to donate
half. and others all above the entry fees,
and like expense incurred by them, of
the premiums earned, to assist in again
putting the society upon its feet. These
are generous offers, and it is to be hoped
will be warmly seconded by exhibitors
generally. The society has maintained
good credit among exhibitors heretofore
The building of suitable exhibition halls
is a necessity. The premiums earned
this year will furnish good nucleus to
a fund for that purpose. 1t is to be
hoped all exhibitors will heartily concur
in the example set by Clayton Hoge and
the Messrs. Chambers, (of Mt. Pleasantly,
and John Stewart, (of Stewartsviile).
The premiums earned by these men are
large, and the gifts they make the socie.
ty to help it out of its troubles are no
small sums. The agricultural society
got no assistance whatever from the
tornado fund. That was all distributed
to needy individual sufferers.

The announcement that the Balti>
more and Ohio railroad had passed into
new hands, and that it would probably
be operated as an adjunct of the Penn>
sylvania, created the greatest sensation
experienced in these parts since the war.
1t was realized that such consolidation
would organize the greatest monopoly
in history, and that towns situated like
Bellaire and Wheeling would suffer se>
riously. The Wheeling papers annOunc

the editors treated the supposed sale in
double-leaded editorials

American bankers had agreed to float

entire harmony with the other trunk

Robert Garretts control of the Balti-
more and Ohio has not been fruitful of
good results. The building of its Pbila-
delphia and New York extension loaded
the company with an Indebtedness of
about $23,O00,00O. Weeks ago Mr.. Gar>
rett commenced dickering with Henry
S. Ives, an adventurer on Wall street.
That transaction brought discredit upon
the road and upon Mr.. Garrett. Going
TO London. he found that once powerful

concessions humiliating to himself.
The Public Ledger (uf PhiIadeIphia)
makes the explicit statement that the
Pennsylvania is not in the deal, aad
that it has nothing to do with the trans
action. Mr.. A. j. Cassat, who won dis

DEATH OF BISHOP HARRIS.

DEATH OE BlSHOE dAhhlS.
Bishop William Logan Harris, the
New York resilient Bishop of the Meth
odist church. died, Friday afternoon, at
his home in New York. The Bishop
was taken ill with heart trouble month
ago when in Liverpool. He sailed i'm
mediately for New York, and has been
under medical care since his arrival
here. During the last three days the
Bishop had been unconscious. and re
manned so to the last. Bishop Harris,
D. D. L. L. D., was one of the pillars of
the Methodist church. he was born in
Mansfield, O., Nnvep,Der. Z. 1917. He
received a classical education at Nor
walk Seminary and began his career as
minister in 1886. In lS4S he became
the principal of Baldwin University at
Berea, o. In 1851 he took charge of the
State University, academic department,
at Delaware. o. In 1860 he was elected
Assistant Secretary rf the Missionary
Society, which position he held until
chosen Bishop in 1872. Bishop Harris
was an active abolitiohist and was par
ticularly active in the discussion at the
time the Southern Methodists seeded
from the church on the ground of disar
ereement on the slavery question. He
had circumnavigated the globe, and WIS.,
tied many lands in the interests of mis-
sionary work, which developed greatly
after he became Bishop. In 1874 he
was sent as delegate 10 the British Wes
leyan conference. He received bis de
gree of d. ID. from Allegheny college in
1856. and his l. l.. d. from Baldwin nni~
versity in 1870. lie has since been
abroad several times. visiting MISSIONS
~ stations. In 1874 he removed to Chi
cago and in 1880 to New York. He
contributed largely 10 the periodical

author of very useful work on "The
Legal Power OF the General Conference"

AROUSE, YE REPUBLICANS.

A great many people this year are
making mistake by supposing that the
Republicans have nothing to contend
with in this campaign. In fact, Repub-
icans are likely to be injured by the
over-confdence manifested in many parts
of the state. Never in the past twenty
five years has the Republican party had
as much to contend with or so vigorous
a warfare to wage as at the present time
A glance at the surroundings will show
that untiring energy and vim, vigor and
victory must be our motto from now un-
til the polls close on November 8. Then
it will be time enough to rejoice over
brilliant achievements. We are opposed
by the same old Democracy flying its we'll
worn hammers of fraud, forgery, intrigue
and corruption, ready for any stratagem,
honorable or dishonorable, that NAV
chance to present itself. Complications
with third and fourth party tickets also
present themselves in many localities
The only way for us to win is for each
Republican voter in Ohio to determine
now to devote himself from this time un-
til election day in the endeavor to rouse
into enthusiasm his neighbors, and above
all to make certain of being himself at
the polls on election day and casting his
vote, whether or not he may feel sure in
the advance that his ticket may have a
majority. Republican voters in the rural
districts cannot remain at home if they
expect their party to win. Let them de-
termine now, rain or shine, to be at tho
polls. Did you ever hear the Democrats
on the evening before election day wish
ing that it would rain on election dayl
If you have not others have. They never
fail to vote even in the worst weather,
and Republicans should not allow them
to gain the advantage over them in this
regard. Up, then, Republicans; grid on
your armor and prepare for the battle
which is only to be won by hard fighting
and the casting Of a full Republican vote.

FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY,
Pultney presented Jesse W. HolliDgs'
worth. of Flushing. Warren named j
W. Nichols, of st. Clairsville. Mr.. Hol,
lingsworth was we'll presented, and
the fact, too, that Flushing deserved
something good. and that Mr. Hollings
worth had captured the convention by
his splendid presentation of Mr. Fisher
decided the matter without the formal,
ity of a vote. Mr. Nichols is very su,
perior man, but, under the circumstan-
ces, with one RIchland man already on
the ticket. and none from Flushing. his
nomination was an impossibility.

right here. The chairman. as in the
case of Probate Judge and of Treasurer,
called the townships. With the others,

was reached, the response was mo can
